Re: pic: Gasp!

I've been using zip ties for Jaguar and Spike mounting for years. They work just fine, even under significant impacts. They're light and nonconductive, and they don't vibrate loose. Since the Jaguars weigh 6 oz, and my tub o' zip ties indicates the tensile strength of the medium ones (which I use for this) is 75 lbs, I see no problem. For something like the PDB or cRIO, which has a bit more mass, I'd generally recommend stronger fasteners.

Back on the topic of the picture I'm not sure what benefit you'd gain using a PWM-controlled Jaguar with a Vex motor.
